Support your state's Baptist Children's Home

Take an interest in your state's Baptist Children's Home and the services they offer. I volunteer, donate, and work for the Illinois Baptist Children's Home & Family Services. Illinois BCHFS offers residential care for children and teens, maternity care and adoption, and outpatient counseling services. If you would like to know more about Illinois BCHFS or BCHFS in your state, click the appropriate state link below.

Every year, BCHFS has a quilt auction to raise funds for the many services they provide. So many people work diligently throughout the year creating the quilts as a donation. My husband and I love the quilt auction and are collecting very meaningful heirlooms that we can give our children. Pictured here with me is a past BCH resident who is very thankful they were here when he needed care as a child.
